News – September 2014

NMSU Grants has been awarded its first ever National Science Foundation (NSF) Grant. Principal Investigator and Engineering Program manager Jonathan Carter Hebert will be working with regional employers to enhance engineering technician and engineering education at NMSU Grants and around the state. This two year project will focus on incorporating real world projects and modern technical workforce experience into the classroom via extensive collaboration with regional employers.

prepare students to succeed in a modern workforce, in part by emphasizing teamwork, technology, internships, undergraduate research, and co-operative work experience

Our program offers personalized instruction and a collaborative learning environment, with small classes, team projects, and laboratory work.

As a Native American and Hispanic serving institution, our Engineering Program has a special emphasis on creating a cultural and academic experience that encourages underrepresented populations to pursue degrees in engineering and science. We incorporate our regional natural resources as a type of classroom, where we integrate research and engineering practices into student projects.

We are in the process of developing an Associate of Science in General Engineering to offer our students. The degree is being designed to maximize transferability to a Bachelor of Science program, while incorporating select course offerings that provide our students with a unique learning experience.

Jan Koch is the first graduate of the NMSU Grant Engineering Program with an Associates of Science Degree in General Engineering. He’s an excellent student and has been awarded Phi Theta Kappa’s All-New Mexico Academic Team scholarship.

Jan is now a full-time UNM student studying Nuclear Engineering. He plans to graduate in May of 2016.
